Hessum

== Dutch == === Etymology === First attested as hossem and hesne in 1328. Etymology uncertain. Ostensibly a compound of a personal name and heem (“home, settlement”), but the second attestation of 1328 casts doubt on this etymology. Compare Dalfsen, Oudleusen and Welsum. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɦɛ.sʏm/ Hyphenation: Hes‧sum === Proper noun === Hessum n a hamlet in Dalfsen, Overijssel, Netherlands === References === van Berkel, Gerard; Samplonius, Kees (2018), Nederlandse plaatsnamen verklaard (in Dutch), Mijnbestseller.nl, →ISBN
